jschall Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 I'm just getting my feet wet in HTML, etc. Most of the HTML pages I want to serve from Uniform Server are located under C:\UniServer3_2a\diskw, i.e., the W:\ drive, along with their supporting images and scripts. But one of the pages I want to provide is an image-map that points to a LARGE collection of U.S. Sectional Maps in .jpg format, as provided by zovirl here:http://zovirl.com/2005/maps/sectionals/Sec...005_06_05/about The image-map .htm file and all the .jpg files are over on the C: drive, so I figured my link should look like: <a href="file://C:/SectionalCharts/index.html">Zovirl US Sectionals</a>...(I also tried with 3 /// slashes after the file:, but no difference).But that doesn't work :angry: (It DOES work when called directly on the server PC, but not from my remote laptop).I realize that this might be a security issue, and so the remote browser may refuse to open a file on the server's host machine. Is there any way of opening files that aren't on the W: drive? Or do I have to move the files onto the W: drive? - Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olajideolaolorun Posted November 5, 2005 Report Share Posted November 5, 2005 The best way is to move the files over. Why? Security, and so that you do not mess up the server.
